“THREE KINDS OF DISCIPLES”
A Zen master named Gettan lived in the latter part of the Tokugawa era. He used to say:
“There are three kinds of disciples: those who impart Zen to others, those who maintain the temples and shrines, and then there are the rice bags and the clothes-hangers.”
Gasan expressed the same idea. When he was studying under Tekisui, his teacher was very severe. Sometimes he even beat him. Other pupils would not stand this kind of teaching and quit. Gasan remained, saying:
“A poor disciple utilizes a teacher’s influence. A fair disciple admires a teacher’s kindness. A good disciple grows strong under a teacher’s discipline.”

Beset with a thousand disquietudes,
I chanced upon an old woman fishing under the shady cool of creeping willows.
I wanted to ask her my thousand questions regarding the sun, moon and the creation of the universe and my purpose in life and oh so many more,
She placed her fingers on her lips: Fish are rising.
So I stood there and watched.
The freckled river shimmered with flashes of light like scales of an anaconda.
Clouds drift and tugged the blue horizon with their thick, silken strands;
Shadows of the willow grove deepened.
I felt my questions draining away.
Finally, as she slowly reeled in her line, I laughed as I saw that the line was without a hook.
How does one catch fish without a hook? I wondered.
As she turned to go, I know that tea is ready and I am invited.
Following behind her light, drifting footsteps, a gentle breeze combs through the willow branches,
I catch fragments of their whispering: A big one she caught.

Another enlightening seminar taking us to another level! Wing Chun is such a deep art offering so much where your imagination is the only limiting factor. Thank you SiFu for sharing your knowledge so generously with such astute responses to our questions and Bobby for hosting the seminar. I look forward to the next one!
Another great seminar. I am thankful for the opportunity to train with my fellow Shadowhand brothers. A lot of information provided. Had a few lightbulbs turn on as I reviewed driving back home. Thank you SiFu and Bobby for putting on a great seminar. Looking forward to the next one.
As always it was a mind bending seminar, great camaraderie & fellowship.
My three biggest takeaways:
1) wood posts are very hard when struck….
2) wing chun principles are limitless
3) the rules / guidelines of chi sau work just fine if you can just get out of their way and let it happen! hahaha
A big thank you to SiFu Doc, SiFu Bobby, SiFu Stan…always enlightening!
Day 3 – another run through the some of the drills, & though I have seen them many times, new information keeps popping out. It’s a little bit silly, but at least I am seeing them now. This seminar was simultaneously self-paced & accelerated; broad brushed & filled with minute detail…I’m sure I still missed things; nothing is being withheld.
Hasta luego hombres.
Day 2 – more wholesome Shadowhand WC goodness; another great day of training & fellowship. Sadly, there is no way to 100lbs of WC into my 5lb bag; my take away message: train properly & train hard. Thanks to all.
Day 1 of the August seminar was beyond great! A bargain at any price, this seminar is incredible. Topics were explained & reviewed in fine detail.
Thursday night class will be held in Holt!
Remember! Seminar Aug. 9.10.11!
This page is for you to ask questions or discuss topics related to martial arts. Don’t use this page for any politicks or personal bullshit!
